I’ve been killing it in the new year, new me department. Said me never. What was supposed to be a year of salads has actually been a year of tacos, chips, and cheese. All of the cheese. It’s not necessarily my fault though, it’s Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodger’s doing. They keep doing this thing called “playing football on TV” which translates to “get out the food and beer! It’s time to sit on the couch and watch!” Well played TV, well played.
We are huge taco eaters in this house so when I saw the Old El Paso™ Mini soft tortilla taco boats at Walmart I was all “those are so cute! and fun! and not messy! I need them now!” so I brought them home, whipped up the easiest taco meat ever and busted out all of the fixings for our homegate festivities. Because every football game needs a beverage, I paid a visit to the trusted ole beer aisle and perused the giant Budweiser® selection. Michelob Ultra Cactus Lime [seriously, it’s so good] for me and Rolling Rock for him and we were all set.
So you wanna make some meat do you? Awesome, lets do it.
The Easiest Slow Cooker Taco Meat
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef

1. Place [uncooked] ground beef, water, onion, garlic powder and salt into a slow cooker and cook on high for around 2 hours stirring occasionally.

3. Stir in the taco seasoning packet and cook for 20 minutes.
